About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial on Surgical Safety of Intracorporeal Versus Extracorporeal Roux-en-Y Esophagojejunostomy During Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

  • To date, Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy transabdominal extracorporeally by circular stapler was the most common used method during laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, even though it was not totally laparoscopic surgery in which intracorporeal anastomosis should be performed.
  • To gain potential clinical benefits from a smaller length of minilaparotomy and an easier anastomosis technique than extracorporeal anastomosis, intracorporeal Roux-en-Y anastomosis using a transorally inserted anvil (OrVil™) during totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy was adopted by experienced surgeons recently.
  • However, the safety of intracorporeal Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy using a transorally inserted anvil (OrVil™) has not yet been evaluated. Thus, the study comparing the safety of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy by circular stapler based on a well designed randomized controlled trial is needed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Anastomosis-related early complication rate

    Anastomotic leakage, intraluminal bleeding, or stenosis were considered as anastomosis-related early complication.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Reconstruction time

    Experimental group (Intracorporeal group): time from the esophagus was transected to reconstruction was completed.

    Active Comparator (Extracorporeal group): time from the minilaparotomy was made to reconstruction was completed.

    Measured: During operation

  2. Morbidity and mortality rates

    The early postoperative complication was defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery.

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Postoperative recovery course

    Time to first ambulation, flatus, liquid diet, soft diet, and postoperative hospital stay were used to assess the postoperative recovery course.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  4. Postoperative quality of life

    EORTC questionaire (STO-22 and C30) were used to access the postoperative quality of life at 0,1,3,6 months after surgery.

    Measured: 6 months

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guoxin Li, M.D., Ph.D. (+86-138-0277-1450, gzliguoxin@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Anastomosis-related early complication rate (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02085031, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2014.
